DIY Z Probe For CNC Machine 

Nice addition! No more playing with paper shims! Impressive, as always, Nikodem!

Pretty simple and useful. Thank you Nikodem. Once again, a great script and soundtrack ;)

The RU-vid Channel that made me buy a CNC mill :) Keep up the good work.

woah u realy went ham with the stop motion looks great if u keep this up u will surely grow quickly

Thanks for the information, Ive just subscribed and hit the bell , thanks again, keep up the good work

you should really build the MPCNC, i think you would have great fun with it. would be nice to see them compared. just finished mine and i'm kinda blown away what you can do with it :)

Better and better every video! Thanks Nikodem.

Really nice explanation. Definitely gona build this.

Thanks

Overkill is underrated my friend! Great vid! I appreciate the extra effort for the stop motion. Might I suggest the CA Glue/tape solution for holding down a workpiece? Once I started using this, I have never gone back. (Then the piece wont pop out near the end of the contour cut as well. Either way, thanks for the video!

Please make more videos about or with the Dremel CNC... Maybe try to cut a PCB! Thank you, your channel is very cool

Is it also possible to use it for all axis? for exampe if u want to mill aluminium and connect one cable to the alu plate.

Is it possible to use a different extension on your files for the people that do not have auto desk?

Love the cnc videos.

to save even more money, assuming your surface is conductive and supposedly flat, you can connect one pin to the bit and one to the workpiece. also if you don't want to spend money, instead of using a hard probe level and placing a sheet of metallic film (aluminium or tin foil) on the workpiece and connecting a crocodile clip to it.

Slick! Gonna have to add this to mine too...

VERY INTERESTING ! I am asking if there is a possibility to install the autolevelling ( or height map ) extention on the CNCjs program ? Is there a simple step by step procedure to follow for a PC running win_10 OS please ? Thanks

Hello ... I am having problems with my cnc that slows down in the middle of work ... what could it be ??

Do you have a STL file for the vaccume attachment?

hello, great video on a useful topic, thanks for sharing your skills :) 👍

Nice and simple.

A great addition. Are you planning to add an interchangeable spindle/laser? This would really take it to anther level.

How do I configure NC studio software.

Looks good!

Best, useful and I got this video at the perfect time because I'm building diy CNC thanks for sharing this idea

i can put an another probe on SDA pin ?

Looks a bit light weight to br properly flat on the material right ? 🤔 The connector is a nice addition to be able to make more type of probe. Think about mesh probing for making pcb with flatcam or bcnc, that would be great !

Nice, would add some strain relief on the cables , because if one comes lose you probably going to destroy a milling-bit.

Great Video Brother, i am planning to Make one, but i am confused, is it necessary to make that smaller part in touch plate? Can't i use 1 single piece circular, if i make Circle is it necessary to make smaller circle inside it?

Superb project, i was very impressed about these project and i am also going to do like this but i want little bit bigger. So please give me the measurements for those things if i want workspace 12x12 inches for pcb prototyping. And make more videos for pcb prototyping with this machine. And i want know how much filament it consumed to print those 3d printed parts?

Hello and sincere congratulations for your excellent work. It is not clear to me the electrical connection of the probe on arduino and if it is necessary to connect some cable to the motor of the Z axis. Would you be kind enough to explain it? Thanks a lot and congratulations again!

Nice. What CNC control software are you using?

good job - but hats the name of the cnc control program?

what program are you using

Thanks for sharing.

I love you man..😁😁 your job actually.....good one

Nikodem ,a gdzie to wpiąć w arduino shield kiedy wszystkie krańcówki są już zajęte?

Great video. Very useful. Now, do you now which pins i have to use on arduino mega?

Nie lepiej poprowadzić GND od razu z przewodu bez potrzeby lutowania?

I'm totally building one of these this summer. I have an older Anet A8 that I don't use anymore, so I'm going to rob as many parts from that as possible.

Hi, I would like you to make a video in reference to the auto level and to some jobs on PCB, it's a great idea, right? Greetings from Mexico!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽

Nice and simple idea! I think crocodile clip could be connected directly on wire, but it doesn't matter.

I would have used a feeler gauge as the touch pad. It has an accurate measurement and harder that copper.

Hallo, welche GRBL Software ist das ??????

nice work 👍

Make it rectangular and you can use it to probe the X & Y of the workpiece corner to.

Thank you

Hello, first of all, I wish you success, health teacher, I also made a dramel cnc, but sometimes there is a twitch in the y-axis, but I checked the axes manually, there is no problem, it may cause other stepper motor current settings I made 060 power supply 10 amps, there may be another reason, my teacher regards

Use chemical tinner (no not thinner as in the stuff you use to dilute some types of paint but tinner without the H). This is a special chemical liquid that will allow you tin the copper so it is still conductive but will not oxidate. Getting it however is a little hard, it is quite easy to find in the US but here in Europe you will have to search quite a bit. All you do is just dunk it in the liquid and the you will see the copper turn silver/white. Or you could use an electrolysis method to do it if you can't find the liquid. If you don't the copper will oxidate and ... well it might not make good contact.

very very good @nikodem

How can i not think this before? Thanks!!

What software are you using to send the gcode? It looks like a version of Candle

I don't know if you know this but Chilipeppr has a auto leveling feature where it probes a user specified grid and auto scales the z movement to mach the warped area on the conductive material I usually mill pcbs with 0.5 mm cutting bit and havent had a broken bit ever since I started using chilipeppr if you dont want to use it as a gcode sender you can import auto leveled gcode.

and where you connect the z probe on the motherbord on a 1610 cnc?

Typowy polski akcent :)

did you already tried to cut some carbonplates on your cnc? is it solid and stable enough for cutting such hard materials? because i want something that can handle carbon cutting to make my own quadcopter frames

It needs weight. I've used PCBs before, and the problem is they are too light and like to float over your stock material. I ended up 3D printing my own, made it hollow, filled it with a steel weight and epoxied a PCB on top, after nickel plating over the copper ( that's the other issue with copper, it tarnishes easily)......I am set up to do all of this easily though were some people wont be.

Молодец! :)

can you also make end switches on this machine?

Can we make the same thing on 3d printers with metalic printing bed?

Could i get a clear picture of Wiring Diagram? 2 Wires from SCL and GND goes to Plate 3rd Single Wire goes to Aligator Clip?

I'm really impressed by all the projects you're posting, great job! Are you a student at uni by any chance?

witam możesz podać nazwę programu do frezarki? jest dostępny na windows?

What software do you use for design to move the machine please

Eu trabalho com uma CNC FR3020!

Hi !! Pretty cool! This Soft what name?

How mach

Please let me know software you use. Thanks

👏👏👏👏👏👏

That also works with a 3d printer?

What software do you use?

Now would this work for 3d printers

Does this work for a 3d printer Thanks

Where are you from man?:)

Copper clad board :)

you should also diy a 3d printer

That is called a copper clad pc board.

Halo Saya indonesia, saya sering melihat vidio anda. Saya sangat awam dengan cnc, tapi saya beranikan untuk membuatnya. Saya pakai arduino, tb6560, dan cncjs. Bisakah membantu bagaimana cara merubah $100=..... ., $101=.....$102 =..... Terima kasih atas bantuannya.

sir how to make 3d printed 5 axis cnc machine can you please make a video on it

Daj polskie napisy bo słyszę że rodak 😆

Just use feeler gauge or a slip gauge block and thats it, ultimate accuracy also cheap. So why make make it complicated also I don't think the thickness of pcb would be even.

Animation made me sick

your voice xD to much SSSSSSSSSSSs

why do you throw stuff on the table in disgusting ways, why do you hit objects on the table as if it were garbage, can't you explain things with grace and kindness? stop the urge to see these videos
